A request from overseas

Greetings Chicago Fire Department from Ireland.

I am just chasing up on a memory from my childhood. In the mid 1990’s a recently retired chief from “Engine 63” visited Ireland by the name of a Mr. Jack Ryan.

Mr Ryan stayed with us for a few nights back then. I am just wondering if he is still alive or if any family members carried on the tradition with Chicago Fire Department?

My thanks for your assistance,

Kind Regards,

Barry Hayes Assistant Chief Ambulance Officer | National Ambulance Service | Regional Headquarters South | Unit 5 A | South Ring Business Park | Kinsale Road | Cork | T12 ND6P | Email; barry.hayes@hse.ie

A request from overseas …

Dear colleagues,

I am reaching out to you with a request to forward this message to the surrounding fire departments. Perhaps you could help us.

A year ago, firefighters from the Hamburg Fire Department – Germany ran the Chicago Marathon.

At the same time we visited some fire stations in Chicago because Hamburg and Chicago are Sister cities.

This year we are running the Chicago Marathon again but this year we are ten colleagues. We are still looking for accommodation between October 6th and 12th, 2023.

So, I would like inquire if you, your colleagues or families can provide private accommodations close to Chicago for this time.

All supporters are cordially invited to the great “Hamburg-Chicago” pasta party on the 7th of October.

For more details, please send an email to:

Thank you very much for your help and support.

Regards

Jürgen Schmidt

Deputy station commander
